Thanks for the comments. The white charcoal pencils I used for this seem to work great for clusters, and globs in particular. They are both soft and difficult to blend. I don't like them for diffuse objects because of the blending properties. It's very easy to sketch the magnitude difference of the stars, and stippling in all the tiny stars you find in a glob is no problem. I prefer the charcoal over graphite for globs, and I'd recommend picking some up if only for that purpose.
